Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

less than totally accurate/precise use of the mascara wand/applicator
There was a case of a alleged celebrity - Jodie Harsh, night life maven, (what ever that is!) according to the Sunday Times Style supplement, who managed to catch HER mascara wand inside her eyelid and scratching her cornea. Cue visit to hospital and the need to wear an eye patch!!!
There is clearly a market for an idiot-proof mascara wand - if indeed that is what this product is!!
Actually idiot proof mascara wand could be an alternative translation???

: ...make-up applied in a way that is not perceptible to the naked eye.."Are you really wearing make-up? Gosh, I'd never have guessed...it looks so natural!" The eye patch really made me laugh/but don't be tempted to translate "idiot-proof" Just loved it!
